“What a truly transformative experience!”
“I am so excited to… implement my super powers in my work going forward!”
“This work gave direction (and hope!) to my impossible dream.”
“Run (don’t walk) to this experience!”
Just. Be. Yourself.
We've all been told this at some point in our lives. Oftentimes it confuses us, because we think "I was being myself." Or have you ever felt the pressure to be “on” or be “charming” when stepping into a high-stakes situation (callback, interview, first date, etc?)
So what's the issue? Well, your internal perception of yourself doesn't always match how the world experiences you.
Even though selfies and social media have made us all used to seeing ourselves, it’s nearly impossible to experience yourself the way others do. And if you don't admit this difference and understand the implications, you could leave a bad impression. When you leave the room, they think “do they know how they come across?”
When you’re aware of it, and can be publicly self-accepting of your full self, your AUTHENTIC SELF, that’s when they lean in.
That’s when they want more…
The Sam Christensen Image Workshop is a Four-Day Weekend Intensive designed to bring out the authentic self in each of the workshop participants. This proprietary process originated in Los Angeles over 3 decades ago, and came to Atlanta in 2011. The Intensive is now facilitated by Brooke Jaye Taylor and Matthew Cornwell at our Get Taped studio (and also over Zoom). Before you read on, we invite you to start with the video below…

“A totally transformative experience that has made me a much better actor… I highly recommend the Sam Christensen Image Process.”
-Mark Pettit, Actor
On this page you’ll find loads of info about the workshop, but it’s always best to hear it straight from the source. That’s why we periodically offer FREE Preview Events where we give you the background on Sam, why he saw a need for this work, how he created it, and what the workshop looks like up close. We also leave plenty of room for Q&A. We host them conveniently over Zoom.

Well, our identities are… complicated. We hide parts of our identity, showcase other parts, try to be something we’re not, and aren't even aware of certain qualities or traits that others see in us.
What complicates the issue more is that Society has not given you permission to engage your full authentic self, and social media has encouraged many of us to curate an online persona that is often times not an authentic representation of our true self.
So, we walk you through many different exercises over the 4 days that have been specifically developed through decades of research to generate a comprehensive description of YOU that combines both your inner knowledge of yourself and the outer knowledge provided by your fellow classmates.
The result of this work is that you will be able to bridge that gap between the inner and outer YOU, thus increasing your AUTHENTICITY. The tools you walk away with will help you find a new approach to your auditions**, marketing tools (headshots, resumes, reels, websites), and even how you interact with others on a daily basis.

We have found that 6-10 students is the sweet spot, but if demand is high we may push it to 12.

Many workshops in Atlanta average out to more than $100 per hour. If we matched that, then 20 hours would equal $2000. YIKES!
But don't worry! When Sam first brought the workshop to Atlanta in 2011, he offered the Intensive for a discounted price of $695, and never raised the price in 8 years. And even better news is that we have discounted the price even further!
In-person workshops (Atlanta): $595
Virtual workshops (Zoom): $595
You only need to put a $50 deposit down to reserve your spot, and we will work out a payment plan for up to 6 months with no interest!
**NOTE: Although this workshop tends to attract mostly performers, the work is not specific to any one industry and can be just as impactful whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, working professional, student, stay-at-home parent, athlete, or any other human.
